<h3>Details</h3>

<p>Data are total available pure alcohol content, for the three
categories, divided by numbers of persons aged 15 years or more.  The
source data for New Zealand included quarterly figures from December
1997, and annual data to December for all years.  The annual New
Zealand figure to June 1998 required an estimate for September
1997 that was obtained by extrapolating back the third quarter trend
line from later years.
